Good hotel and good neighbourhood :)

Posted Sep 25, 2014 on Hotels.com

It was a fair price suite which is really good for family holiday. The neighbourhood was absolutely amazing. Just 2 minutes walk from hotel to hundreds night clubs at night and thousands shops during day time.

worse hotel i ever had

Posted Jun 22, 2014 on Hotels.com

It was a worse hotel i had, room was stinky, very bed smelly toilet. Reception was also rude. The room had a rain leak, the hotel did not repair it. The window was not with rubble glass, all night noises from the discos and bars until 5 AM. Except the location no any point positive.

very central location

Posted May 8, 2014 on Hotels.com

All in all a very pleasant stay. The hotel is located close to all the bars and cafes. and the staff is very friendly and helpful. If you stay over the weekend be prepared for music ALL night from the surrounding bars and pubs, If that is what you want Pera suits has the perfect location. Other nights a reasonable noise level.

Exactly what we were expecting

Posted Apr 24, 2014 on Hotels.com

The room was tidy and kept clean. The staff were helpful and polite. Location is incredible but be prepared for the noise from clubs to be an all night thing. One issue though: the drain for the shower was slightly blocked and the floor in the bathroom was fully level and with the drain being blocked it meant the water stood in the bathroom following showers and the bathroom filled with the smell of stale water.

Over-prized, but nice and quiet apartment hotel

Posted May 21, 2013

Pros: Quiet and large apartments close to Istiklal, nice staff who speak good English!

Cons: It's over-prized, and it's not possible to make changes in bookings.

By Pera Suites is a apartment hotel run by a relatively young couple, who lives in the bottom floor apartment. The husband speaks very good English, the wife almost none. They are both helpful and nice. The hotel is close to Istiklal, the big shopping street of Istanbul, with lively night life and clubs. The street where the hotel is situated is, however, quiet and peaceful (or, as quiet as it can be in a city that never sleeps). The apartments are large, nice and clean, they have all the facilities mentioned in the description; the wi-fi is free (and very good). It is although obvious though that this hotel is not run by professionals. The "reception desk" is inside the couples' own apartment, which feels a bit odd. Two times when we came back to the hotel late in the afternoon (5-6 pm) we met the cleaning lady in the apartment, where she still hadn't finished the cleaning, and it took them two days to switch broken ceiling lamps. WARNING: You can NOT change an already made booking!! We learned that the hard way.. Conclusion: By Pera Suites is over-prized, and would benefit from lower their rates and thus the expectations. They offer nice apartments and the staff is really polite. But, do not expect a relaxing hotel stay if you chose By Pera Suites. It is a self-catering accomodation, where you buy and make your own breakfast, and make your own bed. It is good for families who want more space than a hotel can offer, but not for a romantic weekend in Istanbul.
